food - i have personally never had iranian food before, so this was a first :) the flavors were great and everything was thoughtfully prepared, including the hot and fresh bread!

pistachio soup - rich and creamy without the need of cream
chicken kebab - i liked the seasoning but the meat itself was a lil bit dry
lamb kebab - really juicy and well flavored!
faloodeh - very refreshing with the cherry sorbet
iranian tea - interesting flavor, was made better with the saffron sugar stick (and i almost never drink tea with sugar, so this was rly very tasty)

service - everyone was incredibly kind and professional. the servers took the time to explain everything in the menu and recommend some dishes that would suit us (as i had an unwell stomach from food poisoning the day before). service is definitely top notch here.

atmosphere - the interior design of the restaurant is beautiful. including the toilets! the design taste is impeccable and you’ll be wowed the moment you step into the place :)

A nice Iranian restaurant, but only 3stars and here is why.
Iranian food is very rich and with many good venues for all budgets, there is a plenty of choice in the city.
Now this is the Atlantis Royal, where you expect the quality and price to be both on the high end. You also expect exquisite cuisine and unique taste of a luxury hotel like a Michelin starred place. But what you find is dine Iranian cuisine but nothing more than the budget Iranian restaurant in the city.
You pay for the venue without getting the dream.

I came here for dinner. I tried many starters and main dishes. Almost everything suits me. But the desserts were more interesting to me than the main dish. It was better to book before going as the pace was full, and we had to wait.

The food was delicious and of good quality. I ordered a lot of varieties to taste it all. As we could only finish half of it, asked them to pack the rest for us. But they had discarded it all!! Why would you waste food that’s so good and also highly priced?! Highly disappointed with this place after spending almost 1000 dirhams for a meal!
